The Best Restaurants in Quakertown
Quakertown dinner now stretches from a 1700s inn to a trolley barn full of kitchens. Somebody had to rank it.
Quakertown's best eating begins at 116 East Broad, where a restored trolley barn holds a barbecue counter smoking brisket by the pound and a taco stall with the kind of rating people double-check. It ends on Main Street, at a building that's been an inn since the 1700s. In between sit margarita pitchers, a brewpub pouring beer made in the building, and more all-day breakfast than any town strictly needs. We ranked all of it; disagreements can find us at the shared tables.
McCoole's at the Historic Red Lion Inn
American cooking inside a Main Street building that's been an inn since the 1700s. Order the burger and a beer; the ceilings have watched a couple of centuries of that exact order.
Fiesta Habanero
Sizzling fajitas and margaritas by the pitcher on West Broad, holding a 4.6 across 432 reviews. One of the busier rooms on this end of Broad, and the pitchers are doing some of that work.
The Proper Brewing Company
The pint was brewed in the building and the kitchen runs a full menu, which settles most weeknight debates. Nearly 600 reviews back it as the town's reliable move.
Karlton Cafe
A brunch-forward menu that pulls a weekend line, with 744 reviews logged — more than almost anyone else on Broad. Go early or accept that the line is part of it.
Tijuana Tacos
Counter-service tacos and tortas on the South West End Boulevard strip. The 4.5 across 600-plus reviews got built the only way a taqueria can build it: one al pastor plate at a time.
MeatWagon BBQ
Brisket and pulled pork by the pound from a counter in the East Broad stalls. A 4.6 in barbecue translates simply: get there before they sell out.
Convivial Tacos and Tequila
Tacos and tequila under the shared roof at 116 East Broad, small enough that its first 15 reviews average 4.9. Order a margarita, post up, and see if you'd score it lower.
John's Plain & Fancy Diner
A proper diner on the West End with 2,000-plus reviews and a menu long enough to cover both halves of the name. Breakfast comes whenever you want it, which is the whole point of a diner.
Sunday's Deli & Restaurant
Breakfast and lunch on Front Street, where the coffee keeps coming and regulars order from memory. The 4.7 across almost 600 reviews is mostly about the eggs.
Quakertown Family Restaurant
A full-menu family spot with booth seating and 2,000-plus reviews, which is a lot of Quakertown breakfasts started under one roof. The menu runs long enough that nobody leaves hungry.
